Hospital discharge is a highly critical and complex process that is prone to medical errors, poor communication, and ineffective synchronization of transitional teams. Improving safety during postacut...
As an integral part of a transitions curriculum, 36 PGY 1 residents from internal medicine and transitional year residency programs underwent a discharge simulation utilizing a trained simulated parti...
Thirty-six internal medicine and transitional year residents (100%) completed an observed discharge simulation with an SP and a separate encounter with the EMR discharge navigator. All 36 residents (1...
Simulation encounters are an effective adjunct to postacute care transition education....
Clinical practice of dentistry entails the use of indirect vision using a dental mirror. The Mirrosistant is a device that helps dental students become proficient with use of indirect vision mirror op...
A total of 72 dental students were equally assigned to the Control group and the Experimental group. Subsequently, Mirrosistant was used to conduct a series of mirror training exercises in the Experim...
The mirror operation examination conducted by the SIMODONT system revealed that mirror training using Mirrosistant had statistically improved students' performances (score: 80.42 ± 6.43 vs. 69.89 ± 15...
Mirror training using Mirrosistant can enhance dental students' mirror perceptual and operational skills on virtual simulation dental training system....
Different isolation measures are required according to the routes of transmission of pathogens. Few studies have compared different forms of hygiene training in terms of efficiency and/or improvement ...
This multi-centre, prospective, randomized, controlled trial compared hygiene knowledge, psychological safety and perception of training among healthcare workers after in-centre simulation training an...
Neither type of training led to a significant improvement in knowledge or perceived psychological safety (F=0.235, P=0.629, η...
Clear definition of the goals of training based on the pre-existing level of knowledge of the participants is crucial. For future studies, it would be interesting to investigate the long-term effect a...
To evaluate the gain of microsurgical skills and competencies by urology residents, using low-fidelity experimental models....
The study involved the use of training boards, together with a low-fidelity microsurgery simulator, developed using a 3D printer. The model consists in two silicone tubes, coated with a resin, measuri...
There was a decrease in the time needed to perform the anastomosis (p=0.0019), as well as a progressive increase in the score in the OSATS over during sessions S1 to S4. At S5, there was a slightly de...
The low-fidelity simulation was able to guarantee urology residents a solid gain in skills and competencies in microsurgery....
Medical trainees in obstetrics must develop competency in fetal ultrasonography. To date, no studies have utilized ultrasound simulator training for basic fetal anatomy with paired didactic coursework...
A prospective observational study was performed at a tertiary care center during the 2021-2022 academic year. Medical trainees in obstetrics without prior simulator experience could participate. Parti...
Of the 26 trainees that completed the training, 96% reported that simulation positively impacted their confidence and ability to perform real-time scanning of patients. Self-reported knowledge of feta...
Paired ultrasound simulation with didactic instruction significantly improves medical trainees' knowledge of fetal anatomy and ability to perform fetal ultrasonography. Implementing an ultrasound simu...
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth became a widely used method to provide patient care. Providers had to quickly learn how to adapt traditional clinical care to the virtual environmen...
The implementation of simulation-based training (SBT) to teach flexible bronchoscopy (FB) skills to novice trainees has increased during the last decade. However, it is unknown whether SBT is effectiv...
How effective is FB SBT and which instructional features contribute to training effectiveness?...
We searched Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles on FB SBT for novice trainees, considering all available literature until November 10, 2022. We assessed methodological quality of i...
We identified 14 studies from an initial pool of 544 studies. Eleven studies reported positive effects of FB SBT on most of their outcome measures. However, risk of bias was moderate or high in eight ...
Although most studies reported positive effects of simulation training programs on their outcome measures, definitive conclusions regarding training effectiveness on actual bronchoscopy performance in...

While robotic procedures are growing rapidly, medical students have a limited role in robotic surgeries. Curricula are needed to enhance engagement. We examined feasibility of augmenting Intuitive Sur...
Simulation based medical education (SBME) is fast becoming embedded into undergraduate medical curricula with many publications now describing its various modes and student self-reported impacts. This...
A narrative systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines using Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed databases for studies, published in English, reporting on general medical and surgical...
3074 articles were initially identified using the search criteria with 92 full-text articles then screened for eligibility. Nineteen articles, including nine randomised trials, concerning 2459 student...
SBME, as an adjunct to existing curricula, improves knowledge-based performance of medical students at least in the short-term. Future studies should broaden its topics, assess longer term impacts and...
Medical simulation training can be used to improve clinician performance, teach communication and professionalism skills, and enhance team training. Radiology residents can benefit from simulation tra...
